Efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions are key to water electrolysis. Herein, we report built-in electric field (BEF) strategy to fabricate a heterogeneous nickel phosphide-cobalt nanowire arrays grown on carbon fiber paper (Ni2P-CoCH/CFP) with large work function difference (ΔΦ) as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall splitting. Impressively, Ni2P-CoCH/CFP exhibits a remarkable catalytic activity for hydrogen and oxygen reactions to obtain 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Moreover, the fabricated lab-scale electrolyzer driven by an AAA battery delivers excellent stability after 50 h electrocatalysis with a 100% faradic efficiency. Computational calculations combining with experiments reveal the interface-induced electric field effect facilitates asymmetrical charge distributions, thereby regulating the adsorption/desorption of the intermediates during reactions. This work offers an avenue to rationally design high-performance heterogeneous electrocatalysts.
